FIFA 16 will be a more balanced experience

FIFA, despite what casual onlookers such as I would say, does receive a wealth of new additions, bits of improved gameplay and I can’t even keep a straight face because it all looks exactly the same to me, year after year. The last FIFA I loved still had block pixellated graphics, and came out in the early-to-mid-90’s. FIFA international soccer, it was called, and it let me do super somersault kicks in to goal. It was magnificent.

Since then, the series has taken a far more serious turn, and become the premier footballing sim that doesn’t sound like a stick that dispenses sweets. EA’s detailed some of the impending game’s new gameplay features and additions – particularly where it comes to defense, midfield and attack. Take a look:

Defense

FIFA 16 gives you the tools to stop your opponent with confidence. Move with greater freedom as a defender – rely on your team to defend as a unit, and your back line to track menacing runs to create balance between attacking and defending.

Midfield

Games are won and lost in the midfield – in FIFA 16, the midfield matters. Stay in possession with patient build-up play or ping clinical passes through space to start an attack.

Attack

Create more “wow” moments. In FIFA 16, players will have that cutting edge every team needs to create moments of magic and unlock defenses.

FIFA 16 is coming in September for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PPS3 and PS4.

Editor. I'm old, grumpy and more than just a little cynical. One day, I found myself in possession of a NES, and a copy of Super Mario Bros 3. It was that game that made me realise that games were more than just toys to idly while away time - they were capable of being masterpieces. I'm here now, looking for more of those masterpieces.
